READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
BACK TO SCHOOL
There goes the alarm again. I guess I should get up, but I am dreading this day. I always hate going back to school
after a holidays break. I am not sure why I am anxious to see my friends, I don’t have any overdue school assignments, but
I still get that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Has something changed? Do all my friends still feel the same way?
What clothes should I wear today? Everyone will wear something new. I am sure of that.
My biggest conflict is in my head. Part of me says, “Be your own person!” Another part of me just wants to fit
into the crowd. My mom says that high school is like this, but college will be the opposite. She says I’ll meet many people
with different interests, and find groups that I want to be with. I am looking forward to that freedom, but I have one more
year of high school and this is my reality right now.
As much as my friends and I like to think we are above all the peer pressures and social “rules” of our school, we
all know we are very much controlled by it. We wear our hair the same way, wear the same brand clothes, and even have to
use the same perfume. We basically clone ourselves because we don’t want to be different. Yet, deep down we would like

to shout,


“Look at me! This is who I am!” Sigh, there goes the alarm again. What should I wear today? I think I will call Clara and see
what she is wearing.

After spending a day at the beach, I stopped to buy a snack on my way home. But when I reached for my wallet, it
wasn’t there. I checked my other pockets, and the car and then headed back to look at the beach. My driver’s license, my
ID card – my mind was racing through all the things I had lost and I felt rotten. A search of the beach and parking lot
proved fruitless, so I headed home. I tried to forget it because there was nothing I could do, but I was mad at myself for
losing it. After dinner when I was watching TV and trying to forget, the phone rang and a voice asked: “Did you lose a
wallet? I found it on the beach”. What a great feeling that gave me – not only for my luck, but also for my faith in all
humanity!

TABLE MANNERS IN JAPAN
In Japan, it is not uncommon in private households and in certain restaurants to share several dishes of food at the
table rather than serving each person with his/her individual dish. In such a case, you are supposed to move some food
from the shared plates onto your own plate by yourself, using the opposite end of your chopsticks (if you have used them
already) or with special chopsticks that may be provided for that purpose.
Some Table Rules

•
•

Blowing your nose in public, and especially at the table, is considered a bad manner.
It is considered good manner to empty your dishes to the last grain of rice.


•
•
•
•

•

Talking about toilet related and similarly disappetizing topics during or before a meal is not appreciated by most

people.
Unlike in some other parts of East Asia, it is considered bad manner to burp.
After finishing eating, try to place all your dishes in the same way as they were at the start of the meal. This
includes replacing the lid of dishes which came with a lid and replacing your chopsticks on the chopsticks holder
or into their paper slip, if applicable. Drinking Rules
When drinking alcoholic beverages, it is a Japanese custom to serve each other, rather than pouring the beverage
into one’s own glass. You are supposed to periodically check your friend’s cup and serve them more once their
cups are getting empty. Likewise, if someone wants to serve you more alcohol, you should quickly empty your
glass and hold it towards that person.
Do not start drinking until everybody at the table is served and the glasses are raised for a drinking salute.

31. If you share several dishes of food at the table in a restaurant in Japan, what will you do?
A. You should ask someone else to move some food from the shared plates onto your plate, using the opposite
end of your chopsticks.

your chopsticks.

chopsticks.

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.


Each summer, the Winant and Clayton Volunteer program sends a group of Americans to volunteer in London for
seven weeks and provides housing and a small stipend to help defray the high cost of living. After seven weeks of
volunteering, participants have two weeks to travel independently before returning to London to evaluate the program and

get their flight back to the United States.
The application includes a few short essays, a series of questions about the type of placement one would prefer,
and an informal interview with former volunteers that gives applicants a chance to find out more about the program.
Deciding to participate takes a small leap of faith. The roster of volunteer placements and housing options can
change from year to year and volunteers can’t choose their placement in advance. But once you’re accepted you instantly
feel that you’ve joined a close-knit group. The volunteer coordinator is in frequent contact through mailings and e-mails to
help you prepare for the trip, and there is a daylong orientation in New York that bring all the volunteers together before
departure for London.
31. How long do a group of Americans volunteer in London?
A. Two weeks
B. Each summer
C. Seven weeks
D. Three weeks
32. What does the Winant and Clayton Volunteer program provide them with?

READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and check () whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Low levels of literacy skills’ among workers are hindering the competitiveness of North American businesses in
today’s globalized and information-focused world. Employers are wondering whether these problems are actually relevant
to their own firms. As a result of a research project on the relationship between literacy supply and demand in Canadian
employment, we have created a strategy for employers to use to assess their level of risk before undertaking expensive and
difficult in-depth studies of their firms. Literacy supply refers to the literacy skills of workers or potential workers while
literacy demand refers to the requirement for literacy skills in specific jobs. Our project addresses ways in which actual
problems can be identified through matching literacy supply with literacy demand. While this paper quotes mainly
Canadian sources on this issue, the problem, we consider, is common to the United States and, indeed, to most
industrialized countries.
We know a lot about the literacy skills of the Canadian population and workforces, and the news has not been

good. A series of national and international surveys have actually tested samples of Canadians on their literacy and
numeracy abilities. These studies strongly suggest that a substantial proportion of the Canadian workforce has, at best,
basic literacy skills and, at worst, inadequate abilities to handle everyday literacy and numeracy tasks. From the literacy
supply side we have been led to believe that we have a serious problem. It is widely argued that low levels of literacy skills
are harming the productivity of Canadian business now and represent a barrier to the restructuring firms need to remain
competitive in the future.

READING COMPREHENSION

A game show involves members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps
involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes. In some game shows contestants compete against other players or
another team whilst other shows involve contestants striving alone for a good outcome or high score. Game shows often

Different regions have different rates of population growth. The 20 century saw the biggest increase in the
world’s population in human history.
In 2000, the United Nations estimated that the world population was then growing at the rate of 1.44% (or about
75 million people) per year. According to data from the CIA’s 2005-2006 World Factbooks, the world population currently
increases by 203,800 every day.
Globally, the population growth rate has been steadily declining from its peak of 2.19% in 1963, but growth
remains high in the Middle East and Sub-Sahara Africa. While the regions with the highest growth are in Asia and Africa,
the world’s fastest growing race are Hispanic-Latino origin, who make up 33 of the 75 million people born per year, or
44% of the world’s population growth per year.
Within the next decade, Japan and Western Europe are also expected to encounter negative population growth due
